Title: Oldschool Game - What kind of Music?
Post by: Chosim on Sat 28/05/2011 23:51:25

Hi, i'm doing my first game in the moment and i want to know from you, what kind of music would be better.
The Game is in an old School-Style made:

So, my question is now: Should I use Midi-Music or real intrumental music?
Midi-Music fit to the Game-Design but intrumental Music has more power for the atmosphere.

Sorry, for the bad english ;)

The graphical style you've chosen pre-dates MIDI music, so I think it would be fitting if you were to go even further and use chip tunes.

It is no extra effort to make music sound like that if you use this program (http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-SanJose/8700/P/GsorigE.htm), which instantly converts MIDI music to 80's chip tunes. :)
